Default Guidry to ride until November

Veteran jockey Mark Guidry, who announced in April that he planned to retire some time in August at Arlington Park after more than 30 years in the saddle, has postponed his retirement, saying he will wait until he can begin attending a stewards' accreditation school at the University of Louisville in November.

Kev,

Would you believe I got an inquiry/objection to go my way on Sun? It was that Turf stakes race at Calder that got moved to the main track. My 19-1 shot got 2nd, but the 8-5 favorite came out on him so bad they took down that favorite and gave my longshot the winner. Only time I'll ever beon the right side of a decision a steward makes lol.
